Review of LEP Bogus Boys "Now or Neva"
Written by myself for http://istandardproducers.com/ you can also peep it on the site HERE
#1 The writers here at iStandardProducers.com focus mostly on the beats … obviously – hence the name “PRODUCERS” in iStandardProducers.com… however we are still reviewing the record as a whole.
Intro: Dope intro that definitely sets the dark, street tone of the tape. For someone who’s never been to Chi Town, this intro will more than likely keep them from booking that trip.
Amerikkkas Worst Nightmare: [PROD BY HONORABLE C.N.O.T.E] The news clip intro blends perfectly with Track #2, which has that eerie, movie score feel. L.E.P. rode the beat like they made it, flow is on point. The hook on this track was a bit plain to me though, for an album opener.
25th hour: [PROD BY J.U.S.T.I.C.E LEAGUE] My personal favorite on the tape. L.E.P.’s flow on this one reminds me of some classic Mobb Deep, lyrics and flow are powerful… if you grind, you will relate. To fully appreciate this, you have to listen for the intricacy of this beat; the eerie synth, choir, church bells, heartbeat sounds and strategically placed echoes… not to mention that Guitar! Yea, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League Murdered this track.
More after the jump!

#2 EVERY track gets equal shine…
#3 You know how we do it…we don’t check the credits until the album is heard in its entirety.
